[Verse 1]
On the precipice, over the abyss
Dark oceans crashing down, they swallow me whole
Caught in the undertow
Feels like my head's chewed and my blood's blues

Inside of trouble's arms
In and out of my mind
Building up my walls
Couldn't stack them much higher
Waiting on your call
[Chorus]
How many more times
I gotta fail and fall?
Risk it all into the wire
Inside of trouble's arms
In and out of my mind
Building up my walls
Couldn't stack them much higher
Waiting on your call (Waiting on your call)
[Outro]
